Researches of sediments state from reservoir R-11 of tandem Techa river reservoir cascade were made. Shershni (Shershni's reservoir, Chelyabinsk region) was used as reference reservoir. Radiochemical analysis of sediments and water from those reservoirs were made (radioactivity in sediments of R-11 ranged from 240 to 360 kBq/kg of dry weight for 90Sr and from 10 to 161 kBq/kg of dry weight for 137Cs). Hydrobiological researches were included (1) detection of quantitative progress and species composition of Oligochaeta fauna in reservoirs and (2) bioassay of sediments in laboratory conditions with using test-organisms Tubifex culture. Calculation of absorbed dose for Oligochaeta from reservoir R-11 was performed on basis of radiochemical analysis data. Our results indicated that quantitative progress of Oligochaeta in reservoir R-11 was less then progress in Shershni's reservoir. R-11 sediments bioassay did not show any toxic effect by tubificidae in laboratory experiments. Significant dependence for quantitative progress Oligochaeta in reservoir R-11, survival rate and breeding power from absorbed dose rate weren't found. However in subacute research breeding power for animals with higher radiation (absorbed) dose was reduced.

Frailty in intracranial meningioma resection: the risk analysis index demonstrates strong discrimination for predicting non-home discharge and in-hospital mortality.
J Neurooncol
August 2024
Bowers Neurosurgical Frailty and Outcomes Data Science Lab, 84070, Sandy, UT, USA.
Purpose: Frailty is an independent risk factor for adverse postoperative outcomes following intracranial meningioma resection (IMR). The role of the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) in predicting postoperative outcomes following IMR is nascent but may inform preoperative patient selection and surgical planning.
Methods: IMR patients from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample were identified using diagnostic and procedural codes (2019-2020).

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the impact of hen genotype on productivity and egg quality across three strains (R-11, K-22, A-33) in Poland’s genetic resource program, analyzing traits such as weight, egg production, and hatchability over five generations.
- - It found that these hen populations are valuable due to their unique traits and that random mating helps prevent inbreeding, with survival rates exceeding 98%.
- - Significant differences in performance traits were observed, particularly between the K-22 and A-33 strains, with K-22 hens starting to lay eggs earlier and exhibiting higher overall laying performances compared to R-11 hens.

As a result of operation of the Mayak Production Association (Mayak PA), Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, an enterprise for production and separation of weapon-grade plutonium in the Soviet Union, ecosystems of a number of water bodies have been radioactively contaminated. The article presents information about the current state of ecosystems of 6 special industrial storage reservoirs of liquid radioactive waste from Mayak PA: reservoirs R-3, R-4, R-9, R-10, R-11 and R-17. At present the excess of the radionuclide content in the water of the studied reservoirs and comparison reservoirs (Shershnyovskoye and Beloyarskoye reservoirs) is 9 orders of magnitude for (90)Sr and (137)Cs, and 6 orders of magnitude for alpha-emitting radionuclides.

Gradient of the absorbed dose rate for the detected taxonomic groups of hydrobionts in the series of the studied reservoirs R-11 --> R-10 --> R-4 --> R-17 --> R-9 was almost equal to one order of magnitude.

Liquid radioactive waste from the Mayak Production Association (Chelyabinsk Region, Russia) is contained in industrial reservoirs (R-11, R-10, R-4, R-17, and R-9) that have different levels of radioactive contamination, increased from R-11 to R-17. A study of the ecosystems in these reservoirs was performed in 2009 to determine if there was any association with the level of contamination. No significant change in the status of biota was found in the reservoir with the lowest radionuclide concentrations (R-11) in comparison to other reservoirs in the region with a similar geography that are unaffected by radioactive contamination.
